The Tastings Room: Review

I visited The Tastings Room recently with The Boyfriend. We decided on the venue mainly because we want to try to visit as many restaurants from Palate's list of merchants as possible. Located at Level 1 of Marina Square, the restaurant is relatively quiet and has an extensive selection of wines.

We ordered a moscato each.

Our appetiser was the Pan Seared Foie Gras ($19.90). It was quite delicious, though I wish that the outermost part of it were crispier.

We also ordered Poutine with Sauteed Mushroom ($12.90). It's garnished with cheddar cheese, which adds a fantastic texture and taste to this simple dish.

The Boyfriend ordered the Steak Frite ($28.90), which was probably the most awesome dish we ordered that day (I'm saying this when I don't even really like beef). The ribeye was absolutely tender and goes very well with the sauce. I also love that the steak was paired with truffle fries (and I LOVE truffle fries).

This was mine - the Riesling Coq au Vin ($26.90). It wasn't one that left a huge impression on me.

Overall the experience was good, not just because of the more-than-decent meal, but more so because of the fantastic level of service the staff provided. They were all courteous, helpful, and give very good recommendations (what to order, what alcohol to get...) More importantly, they were very attentive without being intrusive - this is something that I really value when dining.

The Tastings Room is located at #01-08 Marina Square. Visit their website for more information.
